Work Description
40 fun and imaginative poems for children. Yes, the index show a total of 68 - I did say ''Fun'' - see if your child notices that small feature.
Asked where she got her ideas for each poem, Leith Brown replied: ''A lot of the poems are about things that happened to me when I was a kid, and a lot were inspired by my own kids. Others have come from things other kids have said, or parents have said.''
*''..there was nothing to compare with the experience of seeing the book when it came off the presses. ''I'm sure you couldn't wipe the smile off my face for two days. It was just a great feeling to see it.''
After publication,the author hit the road, to promote her new child, ''... before the toughest audiences -- school kids.'' She [had] done readings in eight schools, from Carlyle [SK] to Broadview [SK], and loved the experience. ''It was so fun -- they ask a lot of questions, and they're really fun to read to. You can tell when they're enjoying the poem.'' --The World Spectator (Wed. Nov. 29, 1995), Moosomin, SK.
This is a wonderful gift to share with your children and grandchildren ...
